Sending away the longing Yuan Shikai, letting him run to plague the so-called Empress Mingcheng who was touted by the sticks, and let this old lady who is actually no less important in the history of the sticks than Concubine Yi continue her tragic ending of being killed by the Japanese, Yang Feng began to turn his attention to his construction.

In fact, this was first proposed by Xue Fucheng, as the governor of Taiwan, he naturally wanted to make some contributions to his own jurisdiction.

"Why don't you build a factory in Taiwan?" Xue Fucheng asked.

"Build, we can build whatever you want, but from now on, first of all, we have to build an arsenal, so that we don't have to travel thousands of miles to transport arms from Europe, and second, we have to build a cement factory.

Oops, speaking of which, this place is still small, and it can't be used! I don't know how much it costs for our court to buy a governor?" Yang Feng suddenly asked.

"Can this governor be bought?" Xue Fucheng said angrily.

"Not necessarily, right? Don't you think I have a Governor title to buy right now? Yang Feng said disdainfully.

"The governor of our court rules over several provinces, can he be the same as the governor of your small fishing village? But I don't understand, what are you spending hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy that place? Xue Fucheng said curiously.

Yang Feng laughed a little, thinking to himself, can I tell you that there is an inexhaustible supply of oil under that sand?

"You see that I am definitely not good, one has no fame and no connections, and no one in the court knows who I am, but you are different, just mix in Taiwan for a year casually, and then go out next year, and I will pay you to buy the position of the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang." He did not answer Xue Fucheng's question, but continued the topic of buying an official just now.

Xue Fucheng was noncommittal, but he also knew very well in his heart that the current officials of the imperial court are basically clearly marked with prices, although buying a governor sounds appalling, but in fact it is not a big deal, a second-grade official like him spends hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to move around in the military aircraft, and then stuff Li Lianying, the big eunuchs of the inner court, a governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is easy, since Yang Feng is willing to do this, he will naturally not refuse.

The two did not continue to discuss this issue, but continued to study the factory, first of all, like the cement factory can naturally be invested by Yang Feng, and the arsenal must be incorporated into the official camp, in fact, in the era of Liu Mingchuan, Taiwan had a small arms industry, but the Shao Youlian era was abandoned again, and now the original factory is reopened, from the original purely official office to a joint run of government and business, that is, the Taiwan provincial government and Bofors co-organized, of course, the Taiwan provincial government does not need to pay money, all investment is responsible for Bofors, The provincial government of Taiwan received 40 percent of the shares in exchange for the land and permanent tax exemption.

Then there is the railway, Liu Mingchuan built the railway from Taipei to Keelung, so there is a Taiwan-wide railway bureau in Taiwan, and there is indeed a railway connecting the north and south of Taiwan in the plan, but he put it on hold after he got out, and now it is nothing more than a restart of operation. Originally, Liu Mingchuan resolutely disagreed with the construction of the railway by foreigners, but now there is no need to consider this issue, this railway will be built by the British JY company, of course, many privileges of foreign companies to build railways are naturally indispensable, such as the mining rights of thirty miles along the line.

In fact, Yang Feng doesn't care much about this interest, and Taiwan doesn't have many resources, it's nothing more than camphor, sulfur, and it seems that there is a bit of gold mine, and the largest head is the Keelung coal mine, this kind of thing Boss Yang can't look down on at all, but this kind of rule can't be broken, and now the great powers are playing like this when they build railways in China, and they can't break the rules here.

These things have more or less caused a shock in Taiwan, but this is what Xue Fucheng needs to solve, and it has nothing to do with Yang Feng, anyway, the Han gentry did not dare to oppose him, even the local Haoqiang now knows that Boss Yang is not easy to mess with. As for those natives, they had no choice but to talk with cannons, and the 1,000 people he gave to Xue Fucheng to stay in Taipei were for Lao Xue Gan, and the main armed forces in Taiwan remained, Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army, and Lin Chaodong's Dong Army, all of which were Xue Fucheng's supporters. As long as they don't mix, the 1,000 mercenaries are enough to sweep through Taiwan, and it is useless for them to oppose it, under Yang Feng's strong military and economic pressure, coupled with the pressure of Xue Fucheng's Zhengzhi, the opponents have only a dead end.

Just when he was engaged in construction in Taiwan, Nozu Michikan of Tian'an finally launched a third attack on the Qing army after a long rest, of course, mainly after appeasing the frightened little hearts of the Japanese soldiers, and this time it was not only in the direction of Tian'an, even Cheng Huan's Oshima Yoshimasa had to be killed.

There has been no fighting between the two sides these days, mainly because Zhang Gaoyuan and Nie Shicheng and others were also frightened, the difference is that Nozu Michikan was frightened by the casualty rate, while they were frightened by the bullet consumption of his subordinate soldiers. According to the analysis of the battle situation during this time, they found that their soldiers actually had to consume an average of 4,000 rounds of ammunition to kill a Japanese soldier, which was simply incredible. Nie Shicheng's department, which has experienced many battles, is now better, it has been reduced to less than 2,000 rounds, and Xu Bangdao's department, which has just entered the battlefield, has even reached a record 8,000 rounds.

The four main generals are combined, and before the exchange ratio of bullet consumption and battle results drops below 1,000, the issue of active attack must not be considered.

However, despite the fact that there was no fighting, the Japanese army still showed a large attrition, quite simply, deserters! Despite the fact that the 5th Division came from Hiroshima, which was known for its tenacity, a large number of soldiers could not endure the brutal and bloody, or rather desperate fighting, and chose to desert. From the beginning of the war to the present, the entire division has run more than 300 people, and the Yoshima Yoshima Department has run almost 200, and there is no breakthrough victory in this case, and Nozu Michiguan suspected that he would run out without beating people, so he decided to concentrate all his strength, and if he left out, he would fill it with human lives, and also fill in the defense line of the Qing army.

"Loyal and brave samurai under His Majesty the Emperor, I know that we have suffered defeat before, but for what? Are you not brave enough or are your marksmanship not accurate enough? Neither. You are the best soldiers, even those ghost animals cannot be compared with you, but you still fail, the reason is very simple, your weapons are not as advanced as the enemy, your bullets are not as many as the enemy, your artillery is not even a fraction of the enemy, in a word, you are too poor, the Japanese Empire is too poor.

What are we poor for?

Because we are on a small island with nothing.

We have nothing, so we will be bullied, and if we don't open up our territory, our children and grandchildren will have nothing, and we will always struggle in poverty for generations to come.

For their sake, for our children and grandchildren, we must use our blood, our lives, to win a future for them that will no longer be humiliated.

Defeat the enemy in front of you, and a land of abundance that you could never have imagined will open its doors to you.

There is gold, there are women, there is endless food, there is no end to riches.

Warriors, for our future, offense!" At the pre-war pledge meeting, Lieutenant General Michikan Nozu brandished his saber and shouted hysterically, and the remaining 12,000 soldiers of the Fifth Division, with a sense of grief and indignation, launched an attack on the Qing army from three sides with a single-shot Murata 18 rifle with a bayonet on it.

The deployment of Nozu Daoguan is still the same as before, Cheng Huan and Tian'an are contained in the south, and the main force of the concentrated division is about 6,000 people to attack Zhang Gao Yuan's department from the front, in fact, he has no other choice, Tian'an is stuck at a crossroads, to the east of Ashan, to the north of Cheng Huan, three mountains and one sea, at this time it is not modern, the road extends in all directions, and if you want to detour the road, it is the same as playing, at this time, there are only a few roads that can be walked, and the others are basically all barren mountains and mountains, dense forests and swamps, and there is no other way to play except this.

And in front of them, the three thousand Qing troops led by Zhang Gaoyuan were also ready for everything, although the difference in numbers between the two sides was relatively large, but he did not have the slightest worry, the reason was very simple, the secret weapon that Burton said had been arranged. In terms of small money, Li Er's devil is very generous, the cheap barbed wire used by the pioneers of the western United States is not as much as you can buy, and now the front of the three defense lines is densely lined with barbed wire. Not only was the Tian'an front line erected, but even the two fortresses of Lushunkou and Weihaiwei were also erected, and what was even more shameless was that the barbed wire of these fortresses was also connected to alternating current according to Burton's suggestion.

Bofors also now sells generators made by General Electric, which use small turbines from Young's Power Systems.

Of course, whether the Japanese still have the ability to enjoy such high-end goods, even Yang Feng himself is not sure about this.

In this way, 6,000 heroic Japanese soldiers stepped into the hell of blood and fire without hesitation, providing them with less than 30 artillery pieces, and because of logistical problems, ammunition was seriously insufficient.

And their opponents, now there are more than 100 mortars alone, and the total number of all artillery pieces is more than 200, and on their positions, the number of artillery shells alone exceeds 50,000 rounds, and in the Asan base in the rear, there are still nearly 200,000 shells, 3 million bullets, and 50,000 grenades.
